Not sure if this has anything to do with your problem of stopping but here I have that when I change settings. I was experimenting with my playback drive (different ports, different drives) and one change made XX stop here too.

Sometimes after just a few seconds, sometimes after 3 minutes but never ending the first track. Cleared "C" and cleared XX from memory did not change anything, the only remedy was to reboot and only then things continu to play.

Air - Cherries - Track 5, Alpha Beta Gaga.

Thanks, will have a listen eventhough -39dB is about 9dB less loud than at your place.

... for the life of me couldn't find the track anymore where it happened. I thought I knew which one it was though. And yes, later again in Minimized it sure was "that" track.

Would you mind sharing the name and source of that specific track?

... which isn't capacitor unloading, but DC changing.

Probably not but it sounds like that, like a "spark".

... though I still get a loud tick on start-up and don't fully trust it.

This tick isn't that the static tick coming from the DAC (like a capacitor unloading)? Because thát tick has nothing to do with software...

AND I GET THE BLOODY START-UP SOUND!!!!!!!!

YES, I remember that one too (several times!!!).

My average heartbeat per minute is still 5 beats higher than usual!

Just turning off Windows sounds does not help, you should mute it completely!

Bert, I don't understand what you mean. In Normal OS, the vol slider continues to work no matter what (see below). Exactly what did you do to deactivate it?

My bad... you should not right-click but left-click and open the mixer. In the mixer click on the device and then more options will show. You can turn of the device there (selection at the bottom).

See picture (in Dutch and not even showing the NOS1 but the principle is the same and should explain).

- Stop all Services...

Isn't this basically the same as playing MiniOS?

That means that I can use the Windows Volume Slider to adjust the volume...is that a good thing?

I already removed that Windows Slider...  Wink

EDIT: Can be done by right-clicking the Windoes Volume Control (that little speaker icon) and go to options and turn off the audio devices related to the DAC there).

But what to do (but this sure must be looked into !).

After some minor hickups (stopped playing after a few seconds and such) and some rebooots things play okay now and... WOW!

Regardless that W slider I have to admit that this sounds 300% better to me. Piano has got its weight again...hell, everything got its weight back again and gone is that flattisch holding back "noisy" sound (W7 basically the same...).

F*ck those fake details... I even seem to have more real detail now but I need to listen more for some useful feedback!

Bert

EDIT: I do not have the feeling anymore to add some colouration to the system to make it sound nicer to the ears. Nothing wrong with these speakers!  Happy

Do not forget : This is not only about Normal OS Mode, but also about NOT stopping the Remaning Services. Desktop Services yes.

That means that I can use the Windows Volume Slider to adjust the volume...is that a good thing?

Okay, a whole new start here where all settings indeed will have their influence again. Then better have latency as low as possible to start with as that seemed to sound better in the "old" days to start with...  unhappy

You have 10 (that is TEN) hours left from of the time of this post ...

I am probably too late now but I am sure it has something to do with "stupidity" or some setting somewhere...

Settings for the USB driver? Again a switch set wrongly on the NOS1?

Just to name a few, could be anything...  Wink

It looks like you did not leave that W7 Shell install to the defaults it presented. So, the path has its default and this is not to be changed. Can it be that ?

I guess this must have been the issue. Yesterday the shell programm could not find the Path to my W7 source I presented during the installation so I directed it to the W7 still present on the HDD (Dual Boot) which was accepted. I can't remember that I did changed the path to where the program files has to be installed though...

This morning after reading your last reply I uninstalled the shell program, restarted W8 and installed it again (all under normal OS conditions).

This time there was no problems finding anything (auto search for W7) and things installed fine again and the old Windows 7 shell came up as selected after logging on again.

So far so good...

Now the question if this all changed anything for the better and started a track unattended...

... the track just stopped and pretty quickly XX came back in normal conditions again!  clapping

Pfheww, thanks for your clever thoughts about this annoying issue, problem solved!

And this is *only* when bringing back XHighEnd after Unattended, right ?

Yes and only when Desktop Services are selected to Stop.

With Desktop Services still running I do not see any problem.

Do you have two AutoHotkey exe's running perhaps ?

Do you use a password with the account you use ?


No double AutoHotkey as far as I can find and no password either (never used it for all other OS installed before on this PC either).
